The Brookeshelf: August 2006
http://brookeshelf.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 29, 2006. If this is actually news, but the animated adaptation of Ursula LeGuin's fabulous Earthsea novels is doing rather swell over in Japan. Keep in mind that this film was made by Studio Ghibli. The people who brought. To the screen a few years back - and just about anything made by Studio Ghibli is gonna be big in Japan, as far as I can tell. Anyway, I'm just itchin' to see what Les Ghiblis have in store for us when the film jumps to these merry shores. Anyway, it looks like. Piskie...

http://brookeshelf.blogspot.com/2007/04/new-book-micro-reviews-time-for-some.html
Monday, April 09, 2007. Time for some finger-lickin' fiction! Pretty apt description of my time spent absorbed in this book. By the way, I don't know why this novel is being described as for "ages 11-15." There's nothing in here that would be inappropriate for younger kids - J.J. could easily have been written as a ten-year-old, a la Susan Cooper. Perhaps it's the length that's kicking it up to YA? Eh, I have no idea. A solid middle-grade novel set in Bangladesh! With a strong female protagonist! Damn My...
The Brookeshelf: Off Topic Celebration
http://brookeshelf.blogspot.com/2007/04/off-topic-celebration.html
Thursday, April 05, 2007. So, you may have noticed that I've failed to create a new Forgotten Book review as well as a Online Exhibit tour. Do you know why? It's because I finished the first draft of my novel this week! 340 pages of turgent, craptastic prose! But still. All done. Enjoy "Creepy Doll" and take it easy. And, who knew the ukulele could be so cool. Congrats on finishing. I bet it's not really craptastic. Speaking of craptastic, we might just might. Off to watch that video . . . Wants to run a...

The Brookeshelf: November 2006
http://brookeshelf.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 17, 2006. Okay, okay . . . I give! So, those of you who may still actually be reading this thing are probably wondering why I've suddenly disappeared into the void. I truly do aplologize . . . there are only so many times a person can load up a blog and be presented with hypnotic snowmen. Am I traveling? Alas, no . . . I'm writing a novel. Yes - I'm cringing as I admit this - I am madly participating in the seasonal spectacle known as National Novel Writing Month. See? Here's a lovely li...

Children's literature reviews, mostly. occasional thoughts, commentary, and whatever else fits the kidlit bill. Saturday, September 13. By Ann E. Briated. Illustrated by Allie Ogg. No Wrong. Sorry. Not for kids. Terrible parody with no redeeming qualities. Seriously. You would be hard pressed to find a parody of a children's classic more tone deaf and misguided as this. The idea of a children's book parody should have echoes of childhood skewered with a winking eye. Goodnight Brew. Book that came out las...
